Carrot & Squash Curry Soup

This soup is super healthy and super delicious. I practically drank it from the pot. As usual, it's another favorite from The Pioneer Woman. I LOVE HER.

Ingredients
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
5 cloves Garlic, Minced
1 whole Large Onion, Diced
3 whole Carrots, Washed And Sliced Thin
4 whole Yellow Squash (sliced)
Salt To Taste
1 Tablespoon Curry Powder (more To Taste!)
½ cups Dry White Wine (optional)
48 ounces, fluid Chicken Broth
Heavy Cream (optional)

Directions
- Heat olive oil in a heavy pot over medium heat. Add garlic and onions and stir to coat.
- Add carrots and cook for 3 minutes, or until they start to get soft.
- Sprinkle in a little salt.
- Add squash.
- Stir and cook for a few minutes, until squash is soft and tender.
- After a few minutes, add salt to taste and the curry powder.
- Pour in wine if using.
- Let evaporate for about 30 seconds, then pour in chicken broth.
- Reduce heat to a simmer, cover pot, and cook for 1 hour.
- After 1 hour, taste and adjust seasonings.
- Turn off heat.
- Puree soup using an immersion blender, or in batches in a regular blender.
- Return to soup pot and bring to a simmer.
- Serve hot.
- If you’re feeling naughty, drizzle heavy cream over the top.

Tips & Tricks
- I didn't use the white wine or the heavy cream. I just drank ate it straight, man.
